"Fixed a memory leak problem when the GlyphCache setting is enabled."

Just a FYI, the GlyphCache is apparently enabled by default on 8 and 9-series cards in 180.xx, and the memory leak is apparently quite severe, making this driver update crucial for people with these cards.

Well, I have been running 180.08 from when it came out with a 7600 GS card, I can see the font corrution after a few hours but not a severe memory leakage, maybe a small one.

Jaunty is a good testing platform and it shoud be used for testing purposes such as drivers.

I would also block the SRU for 180.08 and Intrepid... but thats another issue for others to solve.

plun, like I said, it's on the 8 and 9 series, not 7600GS (which is part of the "7" series).

In any case, this could be marked fixed now, Alberto just uploaded 180.11.
